Israel Today: Ongoing War Report - Update from 2026-03-16 at 15:02

President Barack Obama. Virginia, we are counting on you. Republicans want to steal enough seats in

Congress to raid the next election and wield unchecked power for two more years. But you can stop

them by voting yes by April 21st. Help put our elections back on a level playing field and let

voters decide not politicians. Vote yes by April 21st. Paid for by Virginians for fair elections.

The time is now 301 pm in New York. I'm Noah Levi and this is the latest Israel today,

ongoing war report. In Operation Lions Raw, the Israeli Air Force is reported to have destroyed

Carmen A's aircraft in Tehran, following an IDF statement that it struck more than 200 Iranian

targets on Sunday, including command centers, defense systems and weapon storage and production

sites. In direct Israeli-run clashes, since the start of operation roaring lion on February 28,

hundreds of public housing units have been damaged by Iranian missiles and falling shrapnel.

The construction and housing ministry had previously cited about 140 units damaged,

with restoration begun on at least 60. As new strikes have occurred, the total is expected to

have risen, and at least four properties have been completely destroyed. About 35-0 Israeli

civilians have been evacuated from their homes, according to data published by the INSS on Sunday.

Construction and housing ministry, director General Yehuda Morgensen,

emphasized resilience and instructed professional bodies to accelerate housing restoration.

Separately, a direct hit on a house in Nahariya left eight people injured, one of them moderately.

Police reported a shooting in Ramla with a fatality and other security updates were noted

in the same briefing. In regional impacts, European states including Italy and France,

along with seven others, told the European Commission that a Russian LNG tanker

adrift in the Mediterranean poses an ecological threat and urged swift action.

Describing an imminent and serious risk of a major ecological disaster in the Union's maritime

space, Russia's transport ministry said the Arctic Metagas, which carries LNG from Wormansk,

was attacked earlier this month by Ukrainian naval drones launched from the Libyan coast.

Kiev has not claimed responsibility for the attack. In the conflict with Iran and its regional

proxies, Iran's security chief Ali Larajani published an Arabic message to Muslims worldwide.

Admonishing Islamic countries for not backing Iran amid the war with the United States and Israel,

arguing that Iran remains on a path of resistance against the Great Satan,

and the lesser Satan and citing Al-Khafi, while questioning the behavior of other Muslim nations,

and denying that Iran has become the aggressor toward Gulf states, such as Bahrain and Kuwait.

The IDF also reports that seven Hamas terrorists, including two-Oct.

Seven Nuckper attackers have been eliminated in Gaza.

Chief of Staff Lieutenant-General Isles Amir, said weakening Iran would also weaken Hezbollah,

and the wider Iranian-backed Axis. In Israeli domestic politics,

Israeli schools partially reopen after a two-week war closure.

With teachers required to escort students to designated shelters,

and remain with them, there, until authorities determine it is safe to resume activities.

In Israeli economy and business, some 79-36 people have registered as unemployed since the war

began, with 55% of them women and 54% mothers of underage children.

About 8,000 people registered in the war's second week. A 39% increase from the previous week,

but a 37% decrease, compared with the numbers registered during the first week of the 12-day war

in July 2025. The employment service notes the labor market's resilience,

and in light of family pressures. The finance ministry has allowed parents with children

under 14 to take unpaid leave until schools are back to normal.

The agency also recommends that companies accommodate work from home options where

possible. In uplifting news, a post from President Donald J. Trump on Truth Social,

says White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles has been diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer,

and that her prognosis is excellent. Thank you for tuning in to this Israel today.
